Crowd sound effects is a category that is in one sense similar across the board but also incredibly varied. A crowd sound effect is always addressing one sonic issue, the audio output of a crowd of human beings. However, crowd sounds wavs can be amazingly varied for two reasons, location and emotion. Crowds of human beings gather in many different locations including city streets in various countries, arenas, churches, schools, and at demonstrations. They elicit different emotions like the calmness of a crowd at a cafe, or the chatting of a crowd sound effect in the pews of a church before a service, or the crowd sound effect of chanting at a rally. You can have crowd sounds of laughing, screaming, yelling, stampeding, etc.

In terms of recording, royalty free crowd sound effects are pretty easy to get. A sound designer simply needs to hit up any situation where there are crowds and turn on their trusty digital audio recorder to gather some great crowd sound effect noises. Anywhere human beings gather, there will be all sorts of unexpected and interesting shouts, exclamations, laughs, and so on. Our downloadable crowd sound effects wav category at SFXsource.com includes several hundred assorted crowd sound effect types, all recorded to perfection by professionals and all perfect for adding any sort of ambience to any scene.

Finally, crowd sound effects are pretty popular and highly sought after by filmmakers because often crowd sounds are lacking in the source audio after filming scenes. On camera, a director may have done a fine job of it looking like there are hundreds of people surrounding characters in a scene, when in reality there are only a couple dozen. This is where royalty free crowd sounds downloads come in. For just a few bucks, a filmmaker can download a crowd sound effect wav from SFXsource.com, slap it into their film project, and create the sense of large crowds in a scene, fleshing out the crowd ambiance and lending realism to their film.
